should be mounted <option>nosuid</option> and <option>nodev</option>, which means that set-user-id mode
and character or block special devices are not interpreted on those file systems. In general it is not
possible to mount them <option>noexec</option>, because various programs use those directories for
dynamically generated or optimized code, and with that flag those use cases would break. Using this flag
is OK on special-purpose installations or systems where all software that may be installed is known and
doesn't require such functionality. See the discussion of
